About Marc
Marc Rott is a licensed clinical social worker who brings 26 years of clinical experience to his practice in Oregon.
Background and approach
He emphasizes cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) within a broader, client-centered framework to help people examine patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and feelings of being stuck. His approach combines practical skills with attention to the deeper beliefs and experiences that shape emotional life.
Drawing on work across hospital settings, independent practice, and higher education where he taught for more than two decades, Marc blends mindfulness and somatic awareness with emotionally focused interventions to address intimacy, communication, parenting, and identity-related concerns.
He also supports clients navigating ADHD, blended family challenges, body image, cancer caregiving stress, and a wide range of relational and life-change issues. Marc aims to be warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental, tailoring sessions to each person’s pace and goals rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.
He accepts international clients and offers flexible session formats to meet varied needs, making starting therapy straightforward for those ready to explore both symptom relief and deeper, lasting change.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Marc integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered methods to help clients explore thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and learning practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress, while client-centered work emphasizes empathy, nonjudgmental presence, and tailoring the pace to each person’s needs.He also draws on emotionally-focused principles to address relational and intimacy concerns by helping people understand and shift the emotional patterns that shape their connections. These approaches can be used together to support work on communication, parenting challenges, self-esteem, and life transitions in a way that attends both to immediate coping skills and deeper relational patterns.
Finding the right approach is collaborative; the therapist will work with each client to determine which combination of strategies fits their goals, preferences, and the issues at hand. That collaborative process includes experimenting with techniques and adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.
Online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to maintain continuity during transitions. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, allow people in different locations to work together, and support a range of communication styles so clients can choose how they engage with therapy.
